In the framework of this contract, CSG has undertaken to assess and offset operational carbon footprint of a roll cage production and shipment. SURVEYING AND LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENT This study presents the carbon emission of roll cage manufacture and shipping of Audi 100 S4 C4 No.: 2013001. Boundary of the emission inventory Material consumption covers all greenhouse gas emissions from the point of raw material extraction through to the point at which a finished good is manufactured and provided for sale. Commercial enterprises may therefore use these stages into their boundary to estimate the impact of goods they procure (the red/grey stages are not included). The total GHG emissions of production of Roll cage are equivalent to 94,8787 kilogram of CO2e plus the transport of it, what is equivalent to 0,3 ton of CO2e. So the final value is 0,395 ton of CO2e.

These are transported circa 4000 kilometers away by truck. It means that direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions of the transportation is 0,3 ton of CO2e.
